News ► Watch the KINGDOM HEARTS 3 opening movie trailer!

Here’s my theory on how the game plays out and I don’t like it but after the DDD story, it wouldn’t surprise me. The lights lose and the only way to reverse the affects are to travel back in time to defeat young xehanort before he initiates the plan. So young xehanort is the final final boss.

 

[Luminary]

Tbh, I like Chess Xehanort more than Young Xehanort. Kinda wish he was the one we were facing in Toy Box.

 

[Aldrahn]

The song is kinda cool until 0:48. The scene at this time, recalls the death of Xion, one of the most emotional moments in this franchise, but in the background is playing some crazy dubstep things. I know it's just a trailer, but that's what they decided to show us, and I don't really like it.

 

[Elysium]

I like that the recurring colors are similar to the KH3 cover—a gradient between teal and a dark purple. It's very pretty.

 

[Roxas and Xion]

All of the chess pieces.

Master Xehanort
Young Xehanort
Ansem
Xemnas
Vanitas
Braig
Isa
Marluxia / Lauriam
Larxene / Elrena
Even
Demyx
Luxord
Riku Replica / Data Riku / Young Riku
Terranort

 

[KeybladeLordSora]

YX made Roxas drop his ice cream.

How dare he.

 

[Andrealsant]

Following the order of the chess pieces picture, it should be:

Vanitas
Luxord
Ansem
Even?
Young Xehanort
Data Riku
Marluxia
Braig
Demyx?
Isa
Xemnas
Master Xehanort
Larxene
Terranort (which I don't think will be one of the darknesses for long)

That part is so good tho. Try listening to just the music without looking at the visuals.

 

[Elysium]

This may have been brought up already, but I read through the last page and someone mentioned the lack of Riku, but I noticed at the end of the opening (what we're shown of it), for some reason his and Mickey's Keyblades come flying out of the sky and land in the ground for them to pick up??? But Sora's and Kairi's weapons just appear out of thin air when they summon them.

I wonder if something happens to Riku and Mickey while they're in the World of Darkness looking for Aqua that causes them to lose their Keyblades for a period of the game or something?

That was my favorite part of the trailer because that where the song starts picking up.

I think that's them joining the party, just like how donald and goofy showed up. So it was sora and kairi, then donald and goofy, and finally riku and mickey showing up to the party

Well we know that Aqua breaks Way To Dawn and steals Mickey's keyblade so it as probably referring to that.

Oh, wow, I didn't know that. I've been floating on the surface of most of the KH3 promotion, lol, so I miss little details like these.

 

[kirabook]

Besides, this is a short cut. All the clips you see could not only be out of order, but they most likely aren't lined up with the song in the actual opening

 

[UltimaXOmega]

So it looks likely that Xion will replace a member at the end.

I thought that was just a style choice. They were late to the party, so they toss their keyblades to protect their friends and make a flashy entrance.

So now we wait for the 18th, which might just be the full version of this trailer. 9 Disney Worlds total is looking pretty likely.

 

[Aldrahn]

Yeah, it's a good music. When you hear it without the scenes, it's definitely really good.

 

[Aldrahn]

Analyzing more closely I think I discovered why I did not like it.

First: There is that thing I mentioned before. The song starts picking up in a emotional scene, so it gave me a bad impression.
Second: I think the problem is not the dubstep itself. But rather being a dubstep solo. The lyrics practically disappear after that moment. It kinda lost Utada's voice from the rest of the video.

No it won't. Nomura said in his tweet this morning that they can't show the whole opening, so this is what they decided to do instead. Other trailers might feature bits of this, but this is all we will be getting of the opening until launch.
